Down a winding country road just outside of Atlanta, past the fenced paddocks and gentle, rolling hills of stately pines and mature hardwoods sits the latest Rees Jones contribution to Georgia’s growing list of top-ranked Championship courses – Echelon.
The name, chosen to evoke the natural beauty of the nearby Blue Ridge foothills, fits this pristine gated community in Alpharetta like a favorite golf glove. Covering more than 600 acres dotted with lakes and anchored by the 18-hole private course, Echelon has won the hearts of many, and the respect of the members who relish the challenge of its striking elevation changes and Bentgrass greens. All told, great golf. Pure and simple.
